Sahih al-Bukhari 2038 (Book 33, Hadith 13) #1955
Beware of Evil Thoughts

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) warned two Ansari men not to think of any evil thoughts about his wife Safiya bint Huyai, as Satan circulates in the human being like blood circulates in the body.

Narrated 'Ali bin Al-Husain (from Safiya the Prophet's wife): The wives of the Prophet were with him in the mosque (while he was in I'tikaf) and then they departed and the Prophet said to Safiya bint Huyai, "Don't hurry up, for I shall accompany you," (and her dwelling was in the house of Usama). The Prophet went out and in the meantime two Ansari men met him and they looked at the Prophet and passed by. The Prophet said to them, "Come here. She is (my wife) Safiya bint Huyai". They replied, "Subhan Allah, (How dare we think of evil) O Allah's Apostle! (we never expect anything bad from you)". The Prophet replied, "Satan circulates in the human being as blood circulates in the body, and I was afraid lest Satan might insert an evil thought in your minds".
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُفَيْرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ صَفِيَّةَ، زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ أَخْبَرَتْهُ‏.‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، وَعِنْدَهُ أَزْوَاجُهُ، فَرُحْنَ، فَقَالَ لِصَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ حُيَىٍّ ‏"‏ لاَ تَعْجَلِي حَتَّى أَنْصَرِفَ مَعَكِ ‏"‏‏.‏ وَكَانَ بَيْتُهَا فِي دَارِ أُسَامَةَ، فَخَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ مَعَهَا، فَلَقِيَهُ رَجُلاَنِ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ، فَنَظَرَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ثُمَّ أَجَازَا وَقَالَ لَهُمَا النَّبِيُّ ‏"‏ تَعَالَيَا، إِنَّهَا صَفِيَّةُ بِنْتُ حُيَىٍّ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالاَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَجْرِي مِنَ الإِنْسَانِ مَجْرَى الدَّمِ، وَإِنِّي خَشِيتُ أَنْ يُلْقِيَ فِي أَنْفُسِكُمَا شَيْئًا

QUICK LESSONS:
Avoiding negative thinking, striving for purity of thought when interacting with others.

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Ali bin Al-Husain from Safiya the Prophet's wife teaches us that we should be wary of evil thoughts and not entertain them. This is because Satan can circulate in our minds just like how blood circulates in our bodies. We should always strive to keep our minds pure and free from any negative or harmful thoughts. We must also be mindful of how we interact with others and ensure that we do not think ill of them or judge them without knowing their full story. This hadith serves as a reminder for us to stay away from such negative thinking and instead focus on positive things that will benefit us spiritually and mentally.
